Counting the days, Song Lingxi has been gone for more than three months, and Chu Yiyun, who was sitting in the courtyard of Dongchen Hall drinking, looked at the peach blossoms that were budding under the moonlight, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Amorous parting since ancient times, where is the wine tonight? The willow bank, the wind and the waning moon. This past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are thousands of styles, who can you talk to? Lingxi, where the hell are you?"

Song Lingxi, who coughed day and night, began to cough up blood a few days ago, no matter how Peony begged her to go back to the palace for treatment, she was unwilling to go back, and Peony, who had no choice, had to go to the city to ask for a doctor, and the doctor who had already helped Song Lingxi diagnose and treat several times was no longer willing to go to the clinic in the face of Peony's crying

"Doctor, I beg you, you can go and see our young lady again, she is really sick and she has vomited blood for several days, please save her"

"It's not that I don't want to save her, it's just that I really don't have that ability, she's been around for the past few days, you bring back a few pairs of calming medicine and then prepare for her well, it's really useless!"

"Doctor, I beg you, our young lady, she can't die, she really can't die......"

"It's useless for you to beg me, go back and prepare for the future, next, Ah You will send this girl out."

Peony, who left the pharmacy, walked all the way back with a trot, holding medicine in her left hand and wiping her tears in her right hand, she was absent-minded until she bumped into her feet, but because the other party's body was too strong, she knocked her to the ground, and the three pairs of medicine in her hand also fell to the ground, and the person who collided with Peony was none other than Li Xudong, who was investigating the murder during this time.

Li Xudong kept thinking about those things about the pension in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to the person in front of him, so he collided with Peony, but he thought that he had hit someone and hurriedly helped Peony pick up the medicine and apologize: "This girl is really sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you, are you okay?" ”

Peony took the medicine and wiped her tears with her head: "It's okay, thank you"

Li Xudong looked at the pear blossom with rain expression of the peony and said secretly in his heart: No, why did you cry like this when you bumped into it?

When Li Xudong was reorganizing the case in his mind, he remembered Song Lingxi and the peony in the portrait, the face of the woman who collided with him just now flashed in his mind, and the peony in the portrait was at least eight points similar, but the peony in front of him was more vivid and vivid, of course, it was better than the portrait.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly went back to chase after him, but unfortunately he couldn't find a few streets.

Song Lingxi, who was sallow and skinny after he began to cough up blood, felt tired even lying on the bed and breathing, as if he had already stepped into the ghost gate, and when the warm spring sun shone into the house through the window, it added a life to this lifeless hut.

"Peony..... Peony ......"

Song Lingxi, who hadn't gotten out of bed for too long, looked at the sun that had not been seen for a long time, and her heart warmed up, and she originally wanted to let Peony go out to sit with her for a while, but she didn't want to shout a few times and didn't see Peony come in, so she had to get up slowly, get out of bed, put on a cloak, and slowly walked out of the door.

The branches of several pear trees in the courtyard are full of snow-white pear blossoms, bunches of flowers are clustered into bunches, rolled into clusters, clusters and layers are like clouds and brocade all over the sky, in the mild sunlight it looks so bright and crystalline, jade is as white as ever, refreshing people's hearts. Song Lingxi slowly came to the pear tree, and after a gentle breeze blew, the snow-like pear blossoms trembled and swayed on the branches, and the dew between the flowers fell with the wind, and the dew beads splashed on Song Lingxi's face, and soon slipped to her mouth, she gently dipped the water beads with her fingers and licked them with her tongue, and a sweet and cool feeling instantly penetrated her whole body, and she smiled.

It's just that when the smile was still on her face, two lines of hot tears inadvertently crossed her cheeks: "It turns out that this is the taste of pear blossom tears." ”

Peony, who came back from catching the medicine, saw Song Lingxi standing under the pear blossom tree in a daze, and hurriedly ran over to send her back to the room: "Miss, why did you come out, it's windy outside, I'll help you in." ”

Peony helped Song Lingxi back to the bed and carefully covered her with the quilt: "Miss, you lie down for a while, I'll help you boil medicine." ”

"No need for peony, I don't want to drink the medicine anymore, the medicine is too bitter."

"Good medicine is bitter, Miss, how can your illness be better if you don't drink medicine?"

"I know my own body, I don't have many days left, it doesn't matter if I take medicine or not, come and sit down, I have something to say to you."

"I'll cook first, and I'll talk about it when I have something to say."

"No, Peony, while I still have the strength to speak, I have to say everything I need to say, I'm afraid that when I wake up, I won't have the strength to speak, in fact, there is nothing worth my concern in this world, but the only thing I can't let go of is you, the Hou Mansion is gone, and I really don't know where you can go after I die."

Listening to Song Lingxi's words, Peony was crying a lot, in fact, she also grew up in the Hou Mansion, when her mother died in childbirth, her father was stationed at the border with Song Yi all the year round and did not remarry, since she was a child, she was taken care of by Song Lingxi's mother and nurse, and when she was older, she became Song Lingxi's maid, and she and Song Lingxi were both master servants and sisters: "Miss, I will follow you if I don't go anywhere." ”

"You have been following my footsteps for more than ten years, I can no longer accompany you from now on, after I die, you will follow the prince, you don't have to compete with An Yuexiang for favor, I believe that the prince will not treat you badly, with you to help me take care of the prince, I will also go with peace of mind, you should help my sister fulfill this dream of staying with the prince, okay?"

"It's not good, as long as I'm with Miss, I won't follow anyone."

"Silly girl, people have to learn to grow up, you know? In the future, you will be an adult, you have to have your own opinions, you can't cry when you encounter something, and after I leave, you tell the prince that I miss home, I don't want a grand funeral, so that he must take my ashes back to Luoyang and scatter them in the peony garden of the Hou Mansion. ”

"Miss, don't say anything more, you'll be fine, don't say these unlucky words"

"I see the pear blossoms in the courtyard are blooming brightly, what day is it today?"

"February 12, the weather is warm this year, so the pear blossoms bloom early."

Song Lingxi's face naturally showed a long-lost smile, and his heart was filled with sweetness: "February 12, last year's day was the day I married the prince, and the thing I regret the most in this life is marrying the prince, but I didn't expect so many things to happen this year, cough cough........ The end of the world is too far, the life is too short, the flowering period is fascinated, and I can't resist the time cough cough........ I am destined to have no chance with the prince in this life, but why is it deep? cough cough cough ........"

"Miss, let's go back, only by returning to the palace can we cure your illness"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem........"
